Sorry, man. In another month when I get them and get 'em installed, I'll put up a pic. They're trit, so maybe I can even get a pic in the dark.

Those are very similar to the sights on the Steyr pistols, no?

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I wanted to try them out. I've never fired a Steyr, but after handling one I really wanted the sights. Plus, the 2nd gen SureSights are available with tritium now, too, so it's an easy decision. Worst case scenario is that I don't like 'em and I end up putting Big Dots on instead. I absolutely loathe standard three-dot sights. I just cannot pick up the front sights on those.

Dang! Production delays are pushing them back a few weeks. Looks like no later than early August to ship my sights.

Here are some pictures on a G19 with Trijicon for comparison.

Nick Vigliucci, the Glock smith who always sets up next to Plainfield Shooting Supply's booth at the 1500, has these sights on one of his display Glocks. I played around with the pistol last weekend. Obviously I did not shoot the weapon but I was able to practice bringing the sights on target from a low ready postition several times.

I really did not like the sights at all. They simply did not line up quickly for me and I found it difficult to focus on the front sight because the rear sight distracted my focus.

Make sure you all try these sights out, preferrably by shooting a pistol that has them, before you plunk down your hard earned money.

Looking at them, I wondered the same thing. Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

[Scutter01]

That may very well be the case for me as well. I can tell you that I absolutely hate three-dot sights, so I'm willing to try anything else.

Also, note that these are slightly redesigned for the 2nd gen version, which won't be in production for another month, so you were likely looking at the 1st gen sights (not that it's likely to be a huge difference).

I'll be interested to know how they work out for you. I have some big dots sitting around here waiting to go on my 19. I had never heard of those sights until I saw this thread. Hope you iike em.

seem kinda big from the pics on the site. look like the front sight would snag

I asked them about that. They said the profile is similar to a normal front sight and that it will still clear just about any holster. Guess we'll find out.

Hey Scutter, I ordered a set of these too,,,, any word from them on a delivery date??? I haven't heard a thing since they charged my credit card!!!!!

 

[Bhriindan82]

Those are neat!

 

[spasmo]

I just sent an email to them requesting an update. I'll let you know if and when I hear something.

Currently, we are taking pre-orders for our redesigned sights,
which will be shipping in August. Our new sights are
adjustable, and have the option of tritium.

Just received from SureSight

Our expectation was that we'd receive parts for shipping to you no later than today, Friday August 15. Our shipment did not come in, and while there is a delay, it is not too significant. We expect to begin shipping out sights next week, rather than this week. Orders will be shipped in the order in which they were placed, beginning no later than next week. Due to the large volume of orders to be shipped and the rate at which we receive our parts, sights may continue to ship for several weeks until all orders are filled.

All the best,
